NBC 5, Sun-Times: Parking Tickets Up, But Revenue Down
The Geek is an idiot, who gets a lot of parking tickets, and knows how to fight back.

While parking ticket enforcement is up in Chicago, ticket revenue payments are down for the past four months.
That's according to a report by Carol Marin & Don Moseley last night on NBC 5, and in today's Sun-Times which both say, for May through August of 2009, ticket revenue is down $3.9 million from the same period a year ago.
One wonders if it's just the effects of a difficult recession and motorists inability to pay that accounts for this steep decline, or is it possibly a mild form of protest as well?

How are tickets that are dismissed classified in this survey?
I received a parking ticket - a bogus one at that. I fought it and the ticket was dimissed since it shouldnt have been written in the 1st place. So the ticket was written but no revenue was received.
